[1st verse:]
|
Kindly stop that music from playing, "Oh Promise Me"
|
Because it makes me sad, so sad
|
It brings back to my memory
|
Years and years of misery
|
Thoughts of one who promised me
|
A love I thought I had
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
He promised me that someday he would marry me
|
He promised me a beautiful home
|
One down by the sea
|
He promised that he'd pay
|
For the wedding day
|
On the first of May
|
Then he moved away, and all he left
|
Were the promises he promised me
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Sealskins, autos, dresses and diamonds he promised me
|
And told me that someday he'd pay
|
My ringless fingers know he's gone
|
All my rings he put in pawn
|
Even took the tickets on
|
The day he moved away
|
|

He Promised Me
